Figure descriptions
Scene depicting Titian Vecelli’s art studio. The artist gestures toward a painting
of a nude woman in an ornate frame; a large
cloth hangs from the back of the frame. A man sits in a decorated chair opposite the
painting, and watches Titian as he gestures
toward the artwork. The poem text suggests that the seated man is Henry the Third
of France. Additional women and men gather in the
room. The walls are covered in paintings, many of which are portraits, and one of
the paintings is framed by large classical
statues. There is a suit of armour in the corner. Some of the men play musical instruments.
